Each issue the Clan Department plans to highlight a clan (based on current events, clan wars, or public demand) and a player by interviewing clan leaders and players! We will announce who is to be interviewed here, and you can post all your questions in this thread to be answered in the next issue! We will provide some information on the highlighted clans such as recent or historical achievements, as well as linking readers to their Clan Page so past history, recruitment, and member details will be easily accessible. You'll get the opportunity to ask the Clan's members or leadership any questions, and get to know the group as a whole on a deeper level while the Clans that are highlighted will enjoy some additional exposure and get a chance to introduce themselves to the Clan World in a new, unique way that is difficult to replicate in a recruitment thread. Clan HighlightNext month we will be hearing from TNC! Tune in next month for an exciting interview with one of CC's most active clans!
Player(s) HighlightThis month the Clan Department is pleased to bring you a special interview taken with one of our very own Clan Directors, [player]Lindax[/player]! This will be the third of a six part interview series where we introduce ourselves to the Clan World. As the only Clan Director not in a clan, [player]Lindax[/player] provides unique opinions and insights to our group while providing a neutral voice to our discussions.
If there's someone else you think would be a fun and interesting interviewee for the Clan World, please post below and let us know! We'd love to hear from you! (Please note, not all questions will get answered depending on personal comfort with sharing personal information, etc) Thanks and have fun!
